JEWISH HOUSE IN MUSLIM QUARTER REDEEMED FOR HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

Ben Packer, Director of the Jerusalem Heritage House, revealed to Arutz Sheva on Thursday that in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, his organization redeemed a Jewish house in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City.

"We helped take back a Jewish house in the 'Muslim Quarter' of the Old City that was stolen in the 1930's," he added, indicating how the Muslim Quarter in the northeast of the Old City was only given that designation relatively recently.

He's certainly right, that naming/description is very recent, and obviously intended to damage Jewish legitimacy in the Old City.

Helping restore the house for Jewish living is a very fine thing to do, and very helpful.
